# Intake Treatments

{% hint style="info" %}
Your foster carer co-ordinator will ensure you have clear requirements on treatment for kittens when they arrive.
{% endhint %}

### Individual Care Plan

Depending on the age of the kitten or cat, you will receive an Individual Care Plan from your Foster Carer Coordinator - prior to the arrival of your new foster/s.

### Worming Treatment

Depending on the age of the cat or kitten you will have two options for worming (Drontal for kittens 2 - 8 weeks and topical treatment for kittens 8 weeks +). Follow the Individual Care Plan to ensure you use the correct worming method.

#### Flea and Worm Treatments

Flea and worm drops will be provided to you (unless you wish to purchase them as a donation to Furry Friends). The treatment plan will guide you on the frequency and method.

#### Tapeworm Treatment

Flea and worm medication does not treat tapeworms. FFARQ use a tablet called Popantel. This is only to be used for kittens 8 weeks +. Note the dosage - 1 tablet is 1 per 10 kg, so an appropriate slice of the tablet needs to be cut for a dose, depending on the kitten’s weight. FFARQ will send you this medication.

### Pound Kittens - Intake bath

If you are receiving pound kittens, you will need to ensure you have your area set up for a medicated intake bath (Malaseb). You must follow the guidelines for the bath.
